Trademarks are    D23 S

Thank you for your help

The button on the floor near the clutch is the headlight dimmer switch. It toggles between high beam and low beam. You can see the switch in this picture just to the left of the clutch pedal.

 

Le bouton à l'étage près de la prise est le changement de variateur de phare. Il les boutons de duffel-coat entre la haute bielle et rayonne bas . Vous pouvez voir le changement dans cette peinture juste à gauche de la pédale de prise.

Follow the link below. My guess is you have a JIFFY JET wind screen washer.

 

 

Suivez le lien ci-dessous. Ma supposition est vous ont une machine à laver de pare-brise de JET D'INSTANT.

D24 is the manufacturers engineering code for Dodge cars assembled beginning in 1946 ending in early 1949. Cars assembled in Canada were designated D 25. Many cars assembled in Canada were exported as knockdowns, major components crated and set up for final assembly at plants in Europe. Depending on what country they were shipped to some of them were branded and trimed as DeSoto. (this may explain the "s" as DeSoto engineering cades started with "S")

If the cylinder head measures 25 inches in length that strongly indicates a Canadian built car. The serial number was a sequentially assigned number attached after the car was fully assembled abd should give you the date and location of the origine of the car. Many motor vehical registration and licensing departments use the serial number as the vehical,s identification number for tax and titleing purposes.

There is also a number on the engine block, located above the dynamo, stamped ito a flat casting just below the cylinder head. It should start with a D if it is a Dodge engine.

Hope enough of thid translates to useable information. Bon chance with the car.

From the serial number plate, if I read it correctly as 4428756, your car is a 1946 Canadian Dodge D25. One note I have for that serial number range indicates that it is basically the same body as a U.S. Plymouth P15 but I am not certain of that.

 

Perhaps one of our Canadian members can add more information.

If it is a D25, then it does have the same body as the P15 Plymouth but with Dodge trim. It should also have the longer 25" engine. A picture of the car would answer a lot of questions.

quick tell.....what hood...butterfly hood is true Dodge D24 while the alligator hood is D25 which is the Plymouth with Dodge badges..also a D25 will have a cast metal grille while the D24 has a stainless assembly...

 

the picture Don C. posted is a Dodge D24 with butterfly hood as denoted by the separate hood release knobs left and right

Dodge is definitely a D25. Red tag on the firewall should indicate where it was built.

The extra button above the clutch pedal is probably for the blackout lights on the fenders.

The extra button for the blackout lights on the fenders are positioned on the dashboard

The extra button above the clutch pedal is no fonctional

 

on plymouth models,Desoto, Dodge in the years 1940 1942 the starter was not it on foot and not on the dashboard?

 

thanks for the message

Siren? I think 42 through 49 had dash board starter. The car in the pictures shares the body with US Plymouth. US Dodges had front wings flowing into the front doors.

The starter button was on the dash unless someone installed a Carter Car-Starter system, which had a switch under the gas pedal. With it a stalled car would restart just by mashing the gas pedal. There was a switch on the carb to make it work.

 

I don't think these were popular by the postwar era.

[Niel Hoback]

Buicks had the Carter system through the 50's.  The switch is a vacuum operated ball bearing in the throttle body. You needn't floor it, just a bit of throttle angle and the ball drops energizing the starter.  When the engine fires, it sucks the ball off the contacts and turns off the starter. Its wired in series with the neutral safety switch.

No it is not. My mother had a 1948 Buick Super. When I was about 10-11 I was sitting behind the wheel playing drive, drive. The car was parked in the garage with the door closed. The garage door was one of those that swings out from the bottom and parks when open above the car. The garage was about 2 feet from the road. The car was parked in reverse and I had the key on. I pushed the gas pedal and the Fireball 8 engine sprang to life, pushing the door open and racing into the street before I had time to clutch it. I got it stopped in the middle of the street. Drove it back into the garage, turned it off, closed the door, and my parents never found out. But I sure learned a lesson.

   I'm talking 1955 Special.  I parked on wrong side of town and couldn't get it started when I wanted to leave.  I took that switch apart several times and put it together again to no avail.  Sitting in the car trying to think, I noticed it was in drive. Moved the lever to park and it fired right up.

I thought manual trans cars never had a safety switch until modern times.

Thanks Niel. My memory isn't want it was and it was never perfect. I thought one variation on that system had a floor switch.
